After capsizing three times 2 weeks ago I learnt that lots of free board does have it's downside. It's bloody hard to get back on the boat. The stingray was lower in the water and narrower so i could put one hand on the hull and the other on the spinaker pole and push my self up over the mainbeam. That doesn't work on the blade. I had to swim around to the side of the hull, jump up to the trapeze handle and pull my self up from there, which i think is a slow and risky way to do it. (as I found out when the boat sailed away from me*). On my third attempt I thought about a rope ladder off the mainbeam, has anyone successfully tried this before?


* big thank you to the rescue boat who picked me up and quickly put me back on the boat
